Why are Crysis's and UT3's Sales Horrible?

Of course minimum PC specs get higher and higher...

Just because PC gaming has slowed down for you (or so it sounds), does not mean it has for the PC market as a whole. Consoles have always gotten better and better, and PCs have always been ahead of them in horsepower with a sacrifice in paying more for it. PC gaming has yet to die despite that fact for a couple decades.

I think Null hit it on the head -- FPS saturation. There are too many other (perhaps) better games for gamers to care about over these two games, games that don't bring much new. I'll admit I don't know much about Crysis, but Unreal Tourney 3 sounds like just more of the same thing -- fun but not particulary new multiplayer. While it's almost definitely fun, you can get more innovative multiplayer (TF2) or a game with both good multi AND single (COD4).

Because no one cares? Unreal has been Unreal since it was Unreal Tournament. Not much has changed since then. And no one cares about Crysis except for graphic junkies. I'll be happy when the sequel to Far Cry comes out. Right now I'm happy with the Orange Box and playing through Bioshock again.

That's not to say that Crysis isn't an awesome game, I do intend to play it at some point. Likewise with Unreal, it's a good game, just not my style with its spazzy multiplayer.
